Coventry's best ever kit:



Agreed.

I even bought the Subbuteo version as 'my team's' kit (previously I'd used the Partick Thistle amber & red).

1978 while the World Cup was happening in Argentina (Mario Kempes and all that) my band members, roadies and I held Subbeteo tournaments most evenings (mostly p!ssed off our heads).  ;D

I just remembered. My brother managed to get a Palmero (pink kit) Subbuteo team - he called his team 'New Rose' after the Damned song.

Mad how many memories this thread is triggering.  ;D

They famously changed their kit to get around rules on the size of ads.  I’ve genuinely never thought about Talbot outside of them sponsoring Coventry, they might’ve made the Invacar for all I know.  Don’t suppose they’re still going?
Jimmy Hill introduced these kits as Coventry chairman to get around tv sponsorship rules. It backfired when TV companies refused to show them unless they brought out another kit without the big T.

Notice there's no Coventry badge on that shirt too.  That's because Hill tried to rename the club 'Coventry Talbot' as part of the sponsorship deal.

Not all of Jimmy Hill's ideas were good, basically.

Good info. Thank you.

It seems Jimmy was ahead of his time though - Red Bull Leipzig, etc.

My favourite experiences at 'wonky' ground were;


1. Being on holiday in Torquay and going to watch them play big city club Bristol Rovers. At the time the whole ground was open and the Bristol Rovers 'fans', en masse, decided to chase the much smaller Torquay 'massive'. They chased them in a group round the ground and none of the Bristol fans realised that if half of them stopped the Torquay fans would have nowhere to go. Went on for a long time then the Bristol fans gave up, thick bastards.


2. Going watching Huyton RLFC at Alt Road, one copper slowly going around the ground, as he went past the low concrete wall a gang of scallies bunked in behind him. Official attendance probably 187, real attendance 236.

I remember going to Tranmere's Prenton Park in the late 70's for a League Cup match.
Walking up Borough Road with a load of other reds and just as we got past the Prenton Park pub and get a sight of the old Cowsheds and Borough Road Paddock, one lad shouts out "fucking hell, it's a Subbuteo ground".

Talbot have long gone (80s I think?)

They were originally a French car manufacturer and after a load of takeovers/mergers (like lots of car manufacturers did) became part of the Rootes (and Chrysler I think?) group - responsible for Hillman cars amongst others. I'm guessing they had a factory in Coventry - hence the sponsorship?

In the dark recesses of my mind, I *think* Invacars were made by Puch - but I've not checked. Just something I *think* that I remember.

:)

Famous for the Lotus Sunbeam. I remember one of them burning off my Dads VX4/90 on the East Lancs Road back in the 70s. He was horrified to lose so badly some rust bucket as he was quite proud of his shiny Vauxhall and used to think it was quite fast!
 ;D

They'll cost you a future to buy now, saw one for £75K.  :o

Yep

Some of the stuff Jimmy Hill did though, one was 3 points for a win, that was introduced from 81/82 season, he also suggested replacing goal average with goal difference, with GD being accepted.

 Jimmy Hill also wanted all seater stadiums before they became all seater stadiums, apparently Coventry's Highfield Road stadium went to all seater for a whilst, but protests returned parts of the stadium to terracing.

Yeah, very collectable now.

Mind you so is a VX4/90 (if you can find one).

Classic cars are one of my 'things'. :)

I used to run car events/festivals - I'm retired now, but my crew now own (and run) the company (as a workers' coalition) and the shows continue.

Coincidentally, I own a Talbot/Matra collaboration - a car that most folk have never heard of - a Matra Murena (not to be confused with a Morris Marina  ;D )

It's a fully restored 'Sunday' car - weird little thing - three seats in a row (driver and two supermodels  ;D ) - but in all the years I've owned it, I only ever looked into its Matra history - not the Talbot side of things.

Got me thinking of seeing the Reds at the Old Den....scariest mob I'd ever seen...Millwall mob nearly as bad.

Was thinking of starting thread recalling kick offs in 70's and 80's but realised RAWK would have to employ a sensitivity reader to vet posts
